Control of the House is still UP FOR GRABS and there's still something we can do

for our children and their children -- who will have no choice but to live in this world we're leaving them.

The fight for control of the House is ONGOING. The House majority has still not been determined, and Hakeem Jeffries leading a House majority would stand in the way of Trump's total domination of the Federal Government.

Former President Donald Trump has clinched a second term in the White House, and his Republican Party has won control of the Senate. But control of the House of Representatives is still up for grabs, as is the size of the incoming Senate majority.

In the fight for the House, Democrats are facing an uphill climb to net the four seats needed to flip the chamber, while Republicans only need to win a handful more competitive races to hold onto the majority. With dozens of House races still uncalled and many looking close, Democrats would need to hang onto all of their competitive seats and flip a few Republican-held seats to get to the 218 seats needed for the majority.

With votes still being counted, here's a look at the key races that remain uncalled by the NBC News Decision Desk (read more about how those races are called). While some of the battleground states may be projected relatively quickly, it could take days or even weeks to resolve control of the House

1. Do you not understand how insulting your post is?

three days after the election and you're claiming that people who are in despair are "ready to throw in the towel". Guess some of us are just not as strong and righteous as you.

2. Besides, the votes are cast

We can't change those results the way they come in. If they win the house too.....fight for what? it's pretty much over from there.

3. It's certainly not over.

You can give up and not fight but many of us will.

7. There will be MANY disputes over provisional ballots, among other things.

From the beginning, a primary goal of the R's was to prevent Democrats from voting. Now they're trying to prevent the counting of all the votes.

So no, this wasn't over when the votes were cast.

The point is they haven't won the House yet, no matter what they're saying now. There are still hundreds of thousands of votes to be counted, and some to be fought over.

Last time, according to Greg Palast, there were 2.7 million provisional votes that were rejected. There will probably be at least as many this time, and lawyers will be fighting this out.

4. We're supposed to be supporting Democrats here, right? It's part of the rules.

I understand the hopelessness and despair but we still have a chance to prevent TOTAL domination by Trump.

And if we give up now we're playing into his hands.

12. Tinkerbell can't be assisted by clapping this time

"Supporting democrats" means voting for them and not bashing them...

... it has never meant "those that have progressed well beyond the denial stage must post as though they are still in denial - until the rest of us get smacked in the face with reality"

The question is whether republicans will lose a seat or two or gain a seat or two... the House is no longer in play just because not every race has been called.

And if we give up now we're playing into his hands.

Accepting reality has no impact on races at all.

5. I guess you haven't been reading all the goodbye-cruel-world posts here

Everybody’s got a choice, and a bunch of our cohort here have given up for good and are vowing to leave. If you are among them, good luck and Godspeed. If not, what will you be doing with the rest of your life?

So what do you think the rest of us should be doing? Now that we’ve had a few days to wail and gnash our teeth and rend our garments — maybe it’s time to make a plan.

8. For some of us, it will take more than a few days.

Have some empathy and enough with the obnoxious accusations that we're "giving up" or not going to fight.

[Hekate]

10. Fine, continue to grieve. I'm still grieving. But you can refrain from bashing posters who want ...

…to work on a future in this country — I don’t see them bashing you.

Bye.

[choie]

11. Oh my god.

Perfect - you don't see them bashing me. Bye. What an empathetic response. Says it all.

6. Thx for this, pnwmom

9. I hope so

There gotta be a check and balance for this asshole.

13. HOLY JESUS they're still asking for money?

What happened to the BILLION DOLLARS?
